  • 205 The Truth About Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause and Treatment Options
    Mar 20 2025

    Show Notes:

    In this episode, we explore Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM), a condition that affects many women during menopause. GSM encompasses a range of symptoms, including vaginal dryness, urinary tract infections, and vaginal infections, often resulting from hormonal changes, particularly the drop in estrogen. We delve into the causes of GSM, its impact on a woman’s well-being, and the various treatment options available to alleviate the symptoms, improve sexual health, and enhance overall quality of life.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) is Common but Often Underdiagnosed: Many women experience symptoms like vaginal dryness, urinary tract infections, and vaginal infections during menopause due to hormonal changes. These symptoms result from decreased estrogen, which affects vaginal tissue and pH balance, making women more susceptible to infections.

    • Testosterone Can Be Effective for Low Libido but Faces Barriers: Testosterone therapy has proven benefits for improving sexual health and libido in women, but there is no FDA-approved testosterone treatment specifically for women. This leaves many women relying on compounded versions, which can be difficult to access, expensive, or carry risks if not properly dosed.

    • Personalized Menopause Care and Communication are Crucial: Open, effective communication between women and healthcare providers is key to addressing menopause symptoms. Women are encouraged to advocate for themselves and explore personalized treatment plans that can improve their quality of life during this transition.
